BlogBridge
My new RSS reader is BlogBridge.
BlogBridge suggests new feeds to you based on 1) user-defined keywords and "star" ratings, 2) links from the subscriptions you already have in the reader, and 3) Technorati feedback. This is a little different than my idea of a feed-discovering Firefox extension, but I think the end result is the same. I have been very impressed so far with its discoveries.
[For those of you who don't know what RSS is, it's a way of subscribing to web pages so that you can be notified when a web site is updated. It's the solution to endless checking to see if anything has been updated. Pito Salas has created a screencast of BlogBridge in action, so you can find out about RSS feeds and BlogBridge at the same time.]
Update: I found that BlogBridge doesn't put an icon in the Start Menu for some reason. I had to create a shortcut on the Desktop by going to Control Panel: Java: Temporary Internet Files: Settings: View Applications, then right-click on BlogBridge and select Install Shortcut. Whew!

I finally got around to trying BlogBridge out. I find the interface extremely frustrating. Nothing seems to work quite the way I expect it to. Ultimately, it just makes me want to write my own tool.

Wow, that's surprising. I really like it.
The interface is still buggy, of course, but I assume you're hinting at deeper problems.
Is Sage still your RSS reader of choice then?
